    I don't normally like laying this much chalk but...

    Cincinnati Reds -230 tomorrow is a winner. You could play that at -300.

    Better add some flair so PT takes me seriously.

    a) Slowey is a better than .500 lifetime pitcher pitching for crappy Twins teams. His lifetime ERA and WH/IP is at NL league average, and he has a better than league average K/9 pct.

    b) If you lose this wager, and it could happen, you would have to win your next three consecutive chalky-chalk plays just to get even, and if you don't, your bankroll is crippled.

    c) Miami can actually hit Latos, who is a nice starter, but nowhere close to a Verlander, Kershaw, Price, CC.
    Hell, he's nowhere close to the Scherzer's of the world.

    Saloon this whack thread. Anyone posting threads about laying daily baseball chalk of -230 should be banned or automatically called LAnders for 30 days as punishment.

    Wouldn't be the end of the world if this was the case. But why would somebody create a thread about laying big time chalk to win $10??

    Actually, I mostly play dogs. Last season I wound up +14.5 units-ish on about 100 plays (3u plays max, I don't do that LakerBoy 1,000 unit airbet shizz.) Did you guys read the thread title? I don't normally lay this much chalk, this one just adds up.

    People underestimate Slowey. Kid has good stuff, not his fault he pitches/pitched for a couple of the worst franchises in MLB.
    Know this, when Slowey is on, he can match pitch for pitch with the best of them.

    And that's why you don't lay -230 on the outcome of an individual April MLB baseball game.

    Why would one lay -230 against a proven MLB pitcher that is capable of shutting down any line up on any given night?

    Did the math on this one buddy, I honestly would think the Reds would be capable of scoring more than one measly fukking run. Tough loss, but I'll get over it.

    Throw the math out the window because it's worthless. Point is man even if you think you have it figured out to a tee it's still a no bet every time in April. The only time you lay this kind of juice in a baseball game is in a make or break late season/playoff game. There are always better spots this time of year.

    If you are for some reason committed to making this kind of bet early in the season, then parlay it with a side to reduce your risk if your book/local allows it. If you've got this game figured out as well as you think you do you should be able to determine total value as well.

    His WH/IP is terrible? It's 1.23. That's a rock solid ratio pitching for a piss poor team.
